This video that we showed you a little -- Mitt Romney packed a venue in Manchester, New Hampshire last night just hours before the polls open.

-- have access to this.

President Obama's last campaign event before the election and that -- empty seats in Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Joining us now Democrat strategist Joseph tripping who -- -- Dean's campaign present no fall -- -- sold those videos and you know that you take in the pulse of this election.

I'm saying that the the enthusiasm and the intensity is very much -- Mitt Romney and not with the president and I think that will be a critical factor and you -- Well one it's great advantage form obviously but that -- here's what I would say if you wanna run to the polls today to vote and I wanna walk.

Because I'm not as excited as you.

Messed up the good analogy the people of this vote no if both of us vote it doesn't matter how in or how much energy yet it also doesn't matter if you got there on your own because you were so excited and I got there because the Obama -- that -- pulled up at my door.

Put me in a van and got -- in that incident Romney campaign -- the Romney campaign when it models the turnout.

Models it exactly where you're talking.

Stewart models it on a a lower turnout among Obama supporters because of the lack of intensity if that's true.

If that's true you.

I'm Andrea and Karl Rove and a lot of other people out they're very Smart people Michael -- Are gonna be right about the number of electoral votes in the and it will be a surprise a lot of Obama.

The -- Obama and a lot of the press that that happen.

If the if the Obama people get their people out which is the model the ground -- operating under ground given that it -- then.

I would be right back to our agreement is essential advantage that the -- other people be right the enthusiasm.

Is going was wrong and.

That's -- -- hate it whether they're -- not as long as they put it doesn't matter and I know -- the Obama campaign is banking on new voters.

But there's not enough new voters to make up for the independents.

New poll out shows double digits Romney leading so -- how does -- get there in these battleground states with out the advantage he had in 2008 with independent.

Certainly I think is so wrong way to look at that that the vote it independents switch their allegiance every -- -- reason you have like.

There in one year they'll be voting Republican.

In 2010 you have a big certain wave election for Republicans in other years they they.

In 2008.

They identified with the Democratic Party and voted for Obama what happens because we're so -- Right you know is independents are telling -- pollsters that they are for Obama already in RD's or orf.

War Romney all over already in Republicans it's diminishing the wheel independent you -- calling there -- now the remaining independents or.

Appearing to be more Republican leaning and they really America's ability I've got to wrap products amount -- -- -- and I -- and another to wrap it -- if you think if Obama wins.

You class as of right now you calling from -- I 300 Electoral College but I think he wins Ohio I think he was Ohio Wisconsin which is really difficult for Romney get -- we.

-- -- they will find out for joy and a -- -- thanks.
